Have you ever been so depressed

That your head and arms almost feel numb and your body is so tense that you can't relax? I feel like that now and it's so bad ugh..I feel like my chest is tight and I'm going to have a heart attack

Sounds like a lot of anxiety going on. Depression and anxiety go together quite a bit, as I recall.

It is probably anxiety not depression.

For me first came anxiety and it caused depression in the long run, but I've heard it the other way around. You get depressed and then you start to worry about depression which causes weird feelings in your body.

For me it was tinging in my hands, pressure in the head, blurry vision and some other things that I don't really remember.

I remember feeling like that before I had my psychotic episode. I was extremely depressed and had nothing but dark thoughts. It's really not a nice place to be in so I feel you.

I find anxiety and depression sometimes feel very similar. I sometimes get a feeling I can only describe as a feeling of doom. I can only describe it as the feeling of standing on the edge of a precipice with an infinite expanse of nothing but darkness below. It is different from anxiety in that I feel lethargic and heavy. It is a much darker and more hopeless feeling. Often when I have episodes of feeling this way there is a pang of fear that lingers even afterwards, fear that it could return and never go away. It gives an inkling of what hell might be like.

I've also noticed that stimulants seem to completely relieve the symptoms I have. I drink some coffee or tea and I am back to normal. If it was just anxiety I don't think that would be the case.
